Strut proudly presents a long-awaited expanded edition of the groundbreaking Nigeria 70: The Definitive Story of 1970's Funky Lagos compilation, to celebrate 25 years since the original album release.

Nigeria 70 is a pioneering compilation that delves deeply into Lagos' vibrant music scene, where local artists blended highlife and traditional rhythms with soul, funk, rock, and jazz.

While Western audiences were already acquainted with Fela Kuti, this album highlighted other influential Nigerian musicians and bandleaders of the '70s: Joni Haastrup, Peter King, Segun Bucknor, Bala Miller, Blo, King Sunny Ade, Tunji Oyelana, and many more.

Subsequent volumes continued to explore the rich landscape of Afrobeat, juju, funk, and soul, unearthing a treasure trove of Nigerian tracks.

Now, this expanded 4LP edition dives further into the era with tracks that were previously only available on the original CD release from William Onyeabor, BLO, Tony Allen and more.
